The resumption of schools in Nigeria has been giving the Federal Government a serious hard time.
Whereas for this reason the Federal Government has been contemplating on the most suitable and a comfortable implementation that can be declared before school finally resumes.
Even though the Federal Government has of yesterday, warned the states to dissuade from re-opening schools, because the Federal Ministry of Health warns that it would be unsafe to do so.
With this in mind, the FG issued the warning yesterday, which was announce through the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 chairman and secretary to the Federal Government, Chairman Boss Mustapha during the daily briefing yesterday.

Since other students who are not writing final exams still have a lot of time ahead of them, it was only essential that the final year students should resume and should be able to finish their respective final year examinations, while the Covid-19 pandemic is being battled in the country.
The Federal Government made this announcement, through the Minister of STAE of Education, Prof Emeka Nwajiuba, who said the Federal Government has approved all schools running international curriculum to write their final examination online.
Mr Emeka, made this announcement in a the briefing with the Presidential Task Force on Covid-19 in Nigeria.
